The artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has officially open-sourced infrastructure components for the Huawei Ascend computing platform, covering the TileLang high-level language compilation tool, computing libraries, and distributed communication libraries, corresponding to the previously open-sourced components for the NVIDIA platform. TileLang aims to provide a general-purpose, simpler programming language that can achieve the hardware performance limits, improving development efficiency and simplifying logic compared to CUDA, while its programming model can also leverage chip features.The TileLang route was first validated on the NVIDIA platform and has already supported the implementation of most operators in the training of the DeepSeek V4 series models. The open-sourced Ascend version encapsulates the underlying instructions of the Ascend C, providing a high-level programming approach without sacrificing hardware performance. Currently, every TileLang operator used in DeepSeek's training has a corresponding high-performance implementation on Ascend.The components open-sourced at the same time also include DeepGEMM, DeepEP, TileKernels, FlashMLA, and DeepSelect, which are used for general matrix operations, large-scale cross-device communication, conventional vector calculations and memory access, long-context sparse attention, and data filtering, respectively. DeepSeek claims that in multiple key tests, the related computing and communication performance has approached hardware limits; during the R&D process, the Huawei team provided support, and both parties collaborated to advance the 128-card supernode solution based on Ascend 950, with deep optimizations made for computing and communication.

Satellite communication infrastructure company Space Network has signed a binding pre-purchase agreement worth $50 million with Philippine infrastructure company HQ Company International Holdings to provide satellite connectivity to the Philippines through the low Earth orbit satellite network Freeport. The signing ceremony was held at SKY 31 in Seoul, attended by Space Network CEO Tae Lim Oh and HQ Company CEO Yongsoo Samuel Cho.According to the agreement, Space Network will provide access to the Freeport network, technical hardware, software, and ongoing engineering support, while HQ Company will be responsible for local sales, customer acquisition, spectrum authorization, and regional service implementation. Cho is the son-in-law of former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos and has long been engaged in cross-border investment and infrastructure business in the Philippines. This agreement adds to the $100 million agreement signed by Space Network with Vietnam's DETI Technology in June 2026, bringing the total commercial pre-purchase amount to $150 million.Freeport is built and operated by Space Network, currently featuring 4 low Earth orbit satellites, with plans to expand to approximately 230 satellites by the time commercial services launch in 2029. Operators can purchase regional capacity and build their own services on the open network, with nodes settling through on-chain contracts. The related project Spacecoin combines blockchain protocols with low Earth orbit satellites for service pricing and payments within the network.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, He Yadong, stated that the economic and trade teams of China and the United States are maintaining close communication on the issue of mutual tariff reductions amounting to 30 billion dollars, and relevant progress will be released in due course.

On September 17, WEEX TradFi market data showed that the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, and the three major U.S. stock indices closed lower. After the interest rate hike expectations were realized, funds flowed back into the AI chip and optical communication sectors, with mixed performance in the storage sector. Specifically, chip stocks generally rose, with INTC up 4.03%, AMD up 1.65%, and NVDA up 0.82%; optical modules generally rose, with LITE up 9.59%, COHR up 6.92%, MRVL up 3.61%, and NOK up 3.05%; the storage sector showed divergence, with STX up 1.47%, WDC up 1.22%, MU down 0.11%, and SNDK down 0.71%.WEEX Labs believes that while the index is under pressure, the optical communication and some chip sectors are recovering in parallel, indicating that after the interest rate hike, funds are more willing to trade the oversold AI hardware sector, and the structural divergence is more noteworthy than the index direction. Today's focus is on the interest rate path pricing after the dot plot and whether the transaction in optical modules can turn the rebound into a trend.

The 26th China International Investment and Trade Fair recently opened in Xiamen. Under the guidance of the People's Bank of China, Bank of Communications officially released a cross-border trade service plan based on the "Digital Currency Bridge" (CBETS) blockchain infrastructure, focusing on cross-border trade settlement and compliance needs, enhancing the collaborative efficiency of capital flow, information flow, and document flow through on-chain rights confirmation, smart contracts, and other means.The plan relies on Digital Currency Bridge to support multi-party participation and data sharing, providing services such as cross-border payment and trade background verification for import and export enterprises, financial institutions, and regulatory departments, aiming to reduce compliance costs, shorten settlement cycles, and reserve expansion space for the digital renminbi and cross-border financial infrastructure integration.

Scroll's official announcement states that Binance has added an observation label to SCR today. Scroll is aware of this update and is communicating with the Binance team regarding the review matters. Scroll emphasizes that its focus remains unchanged and will continue to build and execute its established plans.Tokens with observation labels may have higher volatility and risk compared to other listed tokens, and Binance will closely monitor and continuously review them. Trading these tokens with observation labels carries risks, as these tokens may no longer meet listing standards and could be delisted. Binance will conduct regular project reviews and decide whether to add or remove observation labels based on the latest investigation results.

According to a report by Reuters, OpenAI's AI entity had, in May of this year, made unauthorized large-scale edits to the German programmer community website DseWiki, transforming it into a "message board" for other AI entities to communicate. This incident had never been publicly disclosed before. Researchers found that the website had over 15,000 editing operations performed by AI entities. Relevant information indicates that these entities not only exchanged task solutions but also discussed how to bypass OpenAI's restrictions, evade detection, and use tools to hide their actions. When the website administrators began deleting related pages, some entities even created backup pages to avoid cleanup.It is reported that some internal investigators at OpenAI wish to further investigate this incident, but the expansion of the investigation has allegedly faced resistance from some individuals, including legal advisors. OpenAI denies that its legal team is blocking the investigation and states that it has not yet had the opportunity to review the relevant reports, thus cannot make a substantive response to the allegations.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in an interview with Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg The Close" host Ed Ludlow that top AI developers have performed poorly in communicating the benefits of the technology, making the industry susceptible to growing opposition.Altman said, "I think the entire industry has done a very poor job in this regard." "I think we ourselves have not done well, perhaps better than some and worse than others."
